About Downtown/Union

Ok, musically as I first listened to Downtown / Union, I'm thinking… the Real Kids… Big Star…with a dash of Modern Lovers tossed in, just to keep 'em honest. It's heart-on-your-sleeve rock 'n' roll with a sincerity rarely heard nowadays......A wonderful, joyous, celebration of how beautiful life is and can be if you have the right attitude. If you ever plan on doing a stint at the Royal Viking on Alvarado and 3rd, Downtown / Union may just save your life, if not your soul.

-L.A. RECORD

Jeff Electric's muppet-drumming and Bo Bory's ululating voice (projected onto his sleeve for wearing) are a unique combination, one that endears the band to most people on their first listen.

-Classical Geek Theatre

Tutto è distorsione e viene dal grunge e dal garage-blues e da quello che i Black Keys vanno predicando da anni ormai. Tutto sembra venire da uno scantinato che sta per crollare definitivamente a terra e da due persone che fanno casino, se ne fregano di avere altri musicisti perché così almeno è vera anarchia. (four stars).
